The whole family gobbled this up! I doubled the prosciutto (wanted to use it up), and omitted the red pepper flakes for fear it would be too spicy for the children. I reduced the tomato mixture quite a bit before adding the vodka and cream (used fat free 1/2&1/2)...probably 15-20 minutes. I also added 2 Tbsp capers and 1/4 frozen peas when I added the vodka and cream. I also made this with whole wheat penne. I did not add the basil as directed because of picky children, so I just topped the adults bowl with a few chopped basil leaves. A definite repeater in this house.

This recipe was excellent. It tasted like something you order from a restaurant. Adding chicken or shrimp makes this meal even better.

Incredible flavor and very easy to make, perfect for a crowd. Everyone loved it. I substituted half and half and cut down on the parmesan and it was still fantastic. This one is going right into the surefire-hit file!

My dinner party raved about this meal and it couldn't be more easy to prepare. This is a fantastic recipe. I didn't use the full amount of basil and mmmm ... it tasted sensational!

Another winner from Marianne (try her Tropical Salad too, folks). Thank you Marianne! My Italian husband, who loves rich pasta dishes, swooned over this. I used cooked bacon for the proscuitto and reduced the amt. of cheese a little bit. This is a great "treat" recipe, definitely a keeper.

This is a good one! Used petite diced tomatoes instead of whole. What a great flavor -- I am still thinking about it. Very easy to prepare. Be ready to accept the complements.
